The performance of the property management?

This means securing at least two bookings (to get a stay of less than 7 days) and completing all setup tasks.

However, in the case of safe unpermitted units there is a state sponsored agency (HCD) that is tasked with getting jurisdictions to comply with the various laws regarding providing housing units.  

Challenges like this can ultimately set the stage for a better-performing asset in the long run.

Hi everyone,I’m a novice investor currently managing one short-term rental (STR) that’s been performing well.

Since I work from home I think house hacking would suit me since I can live on the property and perform some of the easier maintenance tasks myself.

@Jaren Woeppel , after looking at the available local options, we continue to self-manage although we export a number of tasks, ie. answering the phone.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

my RE income from my rentals is semi-passive of course... so less active than W2 but more active than dividends or social security.I just dont really see owning rentals as passive to me its active if your going to stay right on top of them and have them perform like you want them to ( this is specfic to owning C class low B class sFRs  Not those who might own 100 unit apartments with professional management those are passive as long as they are working good. .
